Have done a search on this and yet didn't find any good threads.
We are moving at the beginning of August all being well. I have started going through each room and doing a deep clean so that when we come to move out we will be able to concentrate on the floors and the paintwork. It is a rental so we need to ensure the place is immaculate.
I have over the past month downloaded the organisation threads and made notes on how we will run the new house better. For example we will have ;
- a mini filing system in a sideboard next to the front door and a paper bin next to it for junk mail
- a daily diary on the sideboard and bags prepacked in the sideboard for various activities
- a shelf in the hallway above the sideboard with a wicker basket each so each of us can put 'things' there and a hook underneath for our day bags
- a shelf high on the wall in the bathroom for bulk purchases and spare towels etc
- a tall freezer in the utility with built in cupboards for storing items bought in bulk
- purpose built toy storage in the family room :) :) :)
So, I would like to make the move happen as quickly and as efficiently as possible - does anyone have any top tips? All being well DD will be at nursery the two days leading up to the move and the move day itself. She won;t be able to go into her own room straight away but will continue in her cot in our room for just a weekend while DH gets her floor laid. I have looked up checklists but they always seem to be a bit rubbish.
Oh and we moved this time last year (waiting to find a house after securing buyer for ours) and the removals van cost seems to have doubled since then!
